Abstract

en_US
A beautiful find. I am surprised to see the French publishing industry able to do a book like this so soon after the war. The aquarelles are unfortunately almost completely devoid of narrative content; they end up often no more than pleasing pictures, I fear. Thus the best of them are those that move into some human content, especially the cover picture of MSA, the frontispiece of La Fontaine under a tree listening to a crow, the drunk slumped over a picnic bench (98), and the peasant with a frozen snake (192). I am cataloguing these two volumes some months after finding them, and I can locate no record of having bought them, but there are Magers & Quinn cards inside the books. In any case, finding books like these by chance keeps me going in my searches!
